# Connors VIX Reversal 1
|
|
|
|
This strategy was taken from chapter 2 of [*Connors on Advanced Trading Strategies*](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/connors-on-advanced-trading-strategies) (1998).
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
1. VIX must make a 15-day high.
|
|
2. The asset (e.g., SPY) must be above its 200-day moving average.
|
|
3. If the close of VIX is below the open, enter a long trade.
|
|
4. Exit the trade 3 days later.
|
|
|
|
Rule #2 was added by me after I found it resulted in improved backtest results.
|
|
|
|
The book also includes rules for going short (just invert the long trade rules), but the results of the backtests were consistently negative.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, I chose not to implement short trades in the strategies.
